LABOR TROUBLES.
Discomfort Among the Hen at the
Pullman Works.
they WILL Not strike Until Fall
A Lockout I'm the shoe
Business.

CHICAGO, ILL. August %. Discomfort
reigns once more among the men at
Pullman. It was caused by the an.
nouncement Saturday morning that
the wages Of all trimmers were to be
cut down 10 per cent. There are
nearly 100 men In the department,
and for time the striking sentiment
ran high. A meeting Of the knights
Of Labor Of the Pullman council was
held Saturday evening. at which the
situation was discussed. No decisive
action was taken regarding the strike,
which the msjority Of the Knights
seemed to feel would be q bad thing
to order ct this time Of year. More
over, a. two years ego q similar cut
was followed by q general one in all
the departments, It was thought quite
likely that this fall would see another
order to the same effect, and II wa,
therefore thought best to await results.
The cause for the cut, given by the
company, 10 slack orders, but the men
claim that as the work is done by the
piece some OF the men turn out an
unusual amount Of work, and In con-
sequence receive an unusual salary.
The company, II Is claimed, looks
only at the amount earned, without
regard to the hard work, and has con.
sequently ordered the cut In wages. An
other subjsct discussed at the meeting,
OF Saturday WAS The intended stoppaRe
OF work for the season at the brick
yards. The men were out on strike
from May until July, and are In a pit.
liable financial condition. About $40
men, most OF whom are married, will
be thrown out Of work by the shut
down, which Is TO occur Wednesday.
The shut down takes place regularly
about this time cf year, and no more
work will be done until next spring,
except the running for q short time
longer OF two chamber machines
which together employ about forty
men.
